They make some pretty cool looking cars. Maybe they can spice up Saab a bit.

Opel Stays With GM?

Update: Someone commented that the US side of GM wouldn't spend money in Europe to fix Opel. Um, GM is the sum of it's parts and GM is based in the US, so....

The German workers are not happy; http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/8343934.stm

Yep, that is your tax dollars (from the US), going over to Europe to clean up GM's mess of a company, Opel. It's only 3 billion...

Who knows why, but it's nice to see one thing in China that says "Made In The USA" on it!

The Pontiac G3 Is Not An American Car

It's from South Korea, in fact.

It has parts from GM Daewoo and Korea Delphi. The electronics seem to mostly come from JEM which is based mostly in Mexico. They make a lot of toy electronics stuff, and after looking at the relay box on my G3, it looks like a toy, not a car. The relays are lose and are sure to pop out if I hit a few bumps.

I suspect nothing on this car is from or assembled in America.

I must also report after driving the car for the first time at night, the blood read instrument panel is hard to read and makes my eyes hurt.

I have been duped into buying my first foreign car by GM!!

The PUMA?

It's a prank. Nice try GM. It won't help. Who the hell wants to ride in one of these?? If you do, you don't live near a major city.

Show Me The Money

GM gets it's bailout quietly.

I wonder where they park the Coast Guard cutter?
